I actually miss being single in some ways. I miss the freedom, the flexibility and the independence. My calendar only had one set of appointments on it: mine. If something came up, I didn't have to ask someone if I could go out. I just did. My goals were mine, and I didn't have to run them by someone. If I had an idea, I could just go for it. Nothing held me back. I could focus on what I wanted to do. I could focus more on God (although I didn't always do that, to be honest).
Don't get me wrong. I love marriage. I love being married to my high school sweetheart, sharing my life with someone. That does include asking permission and running ideas by my husband first, and that's a beautiful and wonderful thing.
But just because I love where I am now doesn't mean I can't miss what I used to have.
